The papers for the two year M.Sc. course in Statistics and their contents are detailed in the following pages.
  The Part I Examination to be held at the completion of the First Year will comprise of 500 marks. 350 of which will be Theoretical papers and the remaining 150 on Practicals.The first three theoretical papers I, II and III are each split into two parts A & B.each part comprising of 50 marks.Theoretical paper IV will be of 50 marks.The duration of examination for each of the papers IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB & IV will be 2.30 hours.The duration of examination for Practical Section I, Section II and Statistical Computing will be 5.00 hours each.The 10 marks on the Notebook in the Practicals will be awarded on the basis of continuous assessment.
  A candidate need to secure 35% or more marks(i.e 123 marks or more) out of the 350 marks in the Theoretical Papers and 40% or more marks(i.e. 60 marks or more)out of the 150 marks in the Practicals to qualify for the Second Year.A candidate securing less than 25% marks in any of the Theoretical papers I(A & B combined), II(A & B combined), III(A & B combined) or IV will lose 5% of the maximum marks in that paper as penalty,the marks being deducted from the candidate’s total of that paper.
  The part II Examination to be held at completion of the Second Year will again comprise of 500 marks.350 of which will be on Theoretical Papers and the remaining 150 on Practicals.The first two theoretical papers V and VI are each split into two parts A & B each comprising of 50 marks. Theoretical Papers VII, VIII & XI will comprise of 50 marks each.The duration of examination for each of the papers VA, VB, VIA, VIB, VII, VIII & IX will be 2.30 hours.The duration of examination for the Practicals section I and Section II will be 5.00 hours each.The 10 marks of the notebook in the Practicals will be awarded on the basis of continuous assessment.The Project Work will have to be presented in a seminar held for the purpose an dthe copy of the work need to be submitted prior to the date of presentation.
  A candidate need to secure 40% or more marks in overall aggregate(i.e Part I & Part II combined) in the theoretical papers (i.e 280 marks out of 700).and 40% or more marks in aggregate in the practicals (i.e 120 marks out of 300 marks),to be declared as passed in the M.Sc. Examination.A candidate securing 60% or more marks in the aggregate(i.e. 600 out of the total 1000)will be declared as passed in the First Class. As in the part I examination, a candidate securingless than 25% marks in any of the theoretical V(A & B combined), VI(A & B combined), VII, VIII or IX will lose 5% of the maximum marks in that paper as penalty. The marks being deducted from the candidate’s total of that paper.

There will be two common full papers(V , VI), each comprising of two units(A & B). Besides, there will be three special (elective) half-papers (VII -IX), each comprising of one unit.

   The choice of the 3 elective papers should be made as follows:
1. A student should first choose one of the model listed below.
2. He/She should then have to take the first two papers from among the other papars in that module which are compulsory and can choose a third paper from among the other papers in that module that are not on offer in that year.

   However, the modules, as also the optional papers within a module, that are to be actually offered in a particular year, will be decided by the Department.
